I’d love it if you would raise your hand today at all of our churches. Uh you can type in the comment section online, this is me. Raise your hand today if every single part of your life is going great right now. Raise your hand. Raise your hand. Okay, I’ve got somebody here. Praise God for you. I’m excited for you.

God bless you. This message is not for you. >> Not for you. Uh I want to talk today to those of you who may be going through something a little bit more difficult. I want to talk to those who might have something painful in some pocket or maybe even a big portion of your life. Um, I want to talk to those of you that may be in a complicated season uh for you or maybe with somebody that you love.

And I’ve got a lot of friends right now um that are struggling, people very close to us. One person is praying and praying and praying for a miracle and God just isn’t answering the prayer the way that she believes that he could. Um, there’s a couple that we love that’s been believing God and trying for a long time to have a child and they finally got pregnant and then they lost their child.

I’ve got another friend that um thought that the cancer was gone because it was gone but then it came back. I want to talk to some people that are going through some things like that. And for many of you, it may be something kind of big like that. Or it could be a problem that’s not really big, but just an ongoing problem.

Like, you know, like life’s just okay. Not great. Okay. Job’s not great. It’s okay. Marriage is not great. It’s okay. Finances are not great. Just kind of barely making it. And to make things worse, you’re sitting by the guy whose life is going great, right? Um my pastor, Pastor Nick, who I love and honor, uh he used to say that you are probably going into a hard season or you’re in the middle of a hard season or you’re coming out of a hard season. I love my pastor.
